Harris selected for Australian communications contract
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has named Harris Corporation as the preferred tenderer for its new integrated battlespace communication system, the company announced on 22 April.
Harris will provide an integrated tactical communications network for voice and data services to tactical forces over line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight applications. The solution will include tactical radios and other systems and technology from Harris and partner companies.
The new system falls under the ADF’s Land 2072 Phase 3 programme, as part of the Australian Army’s networked digitisation plan. The plan will modernise the Australian Army’s communications network to enhance operational tempo and command and control.
Alan Callaghan, president and managing director, Harris Defence Australia, said: ‘This agreement reinforces Harris’ status as a trusted partner and continues our long-standing commitment to providing the ADF with secure communications and networking solutions. Harris is proud to be part of such a pivotal programme and to support the Australian Army’s continued modernisation efforts.’
